It was the Saturday after the last day of school, you and the rest of the literature club are at Game and Grub, celebrating the end of your final of high school! The club did get new members after the festival, however most of the new members are younger then you five, so the original five members all went out to celebrate. "I can't believe that we're done with high school… it felt like it was just yesterday, when we were freshmen on our first day of school." Yuri smiled softly, remembering the fond memories.

"Sigh I remember people thinking that I was ten years old when I was a freshman…" Natsuki sighed, trying not to remember those memories.

"Hehe well it's probably because you were so cute!" Sayori beamed, causing Natsuki's face to furrow. However Yuri just placed her hand on Natsuki's shoulder, causing her to calm down and let out a sigh. "But man… our ceremony is tomorrow… I just hope I don't trip on my way to get my diploma!"

"Sayori… knowing you… you will be the only one that will trip on her way to get her diploma." You told her, playfully teasing her across the table the five of you were seated at.

"Wah! That's not very nice! You're gonna make me cry!" Sayori sobbed, trying her best to put on fake tears, only to convince no one.

"Dear, stop messing with Sayori, or else I will have to remind everyone how sensitive you are and who really is in control of this relationship!" Monika giggled, causing you to blush at her threat.

"Sorry Sayori…" You apologized shyly, still blushing at Monika's comment.

"It's okay (Y/N)! With your teasing, it takes a lot for me to actually cry! Hehe" Sayori giggled. The waiter then showed up with your food, giving each meal to each member. All five of you said thank you and started eating. "Mmm this BLT burger with egg really is good!" Sayori smiled, savoring the flavor of the burger.

Natsuki was eating a ginormous pair of ribs. "And these ribs are so good! The barbecue sauce they used is amazing!" She exclaimed, inhaling the ribs.

Yuri giggled at Natsuki's behavior, "Your appetite is bigger than you are Natsuki! I wouldn't even be able to eat all of that." She teased, as she went back to eating her chicken club sandwich. Natsuki paid no mind to Yuri's comment and continued to devour the ribs.

"Ah their tuna salads are always so good! It's hard for me to choose anything but them!" Monika smiled, eating her tuna salad happily and savoring the flavor.

"And this club sandwich isn't that bad either! They do have really good food!" You told everyone, finishing up your sandwich.

Once the five of you were done with your meals, you talked idly while waiting for the waiter to come back with the check. "So, what are everyone's plans for college? We never did talk about it so there's no time like the present!" Monika smiled.

"Well, Natsuki and I actually got accepted into this one university not to far from here!" Yuri smiled.

"Yeah! And we're going to be roommates!" Natsuki beamed.

"Hehe yes we are, I'm planning on majoring in creative writing and I hope to become a famous author one day! However I'm going to get a minor in education so in case that doesn't work out I can teach writing to students!" Yuri smiled, her life plan all set in stone.

"And I'm going to major in culinary arts and start my own bakery! I already have a name for it, "The Cute Baker!" Yuri told me to take pride in my "cuteness" so I decided to name my bakery that!" Natsuki smiled happily, excited to share her passion of baking with the world.

"Ahaha that is very cute Natsuki! Just like you!" Monika commented. "What about you Sayori? I know you're going to the same school as (Y/N) and me but what was your major again?"

"Oh I was going to major in psychology and become a therapist! I figured that there are a lot of people out there who are suffering with depression, and I want to show them that they can succeed and help them through this difficult time in their lives. After all, I know what it's like." Sayori smiled. "Besides I want to be their friend and change how people look at therapists!"

"Wow you sound very passionate about this Sayori, it makes me happy to hear that!" You told her, causing Sayori to blush slightly.

"It's nothing really, but yes, I am very passionate about this!"

"I'm glad, going to school to do something that you're passionate about and getting a job there, that's one of the best ways to live life." Monika smiled, proud of Sayori for wanting to help people.

"Hehe it is! What about you (Y/N), what are you planning to major in?" Sayori asked, tilting her head a bit.

Truthfully you had no clue what you wanted to be, you've had several ideas, but you're not positive. "I don't know yet really… I've had a few ideas but nothing concrete." You admitted.

"And that's okay! It does take some time for you to find a career that you want to do for the rest of your life, thankfully you're able to just take your basic classes in your first few semesters, and that will give you plenty of time to decide what you want to do!" Monika explained, patting your head, and giving you a small kiss on the cheek to ease your nerves.

"Thank you, Monika, hearing you explain that has helped me calm down a bit. I'm certain I'll know what I want to do by the end of my first semester!" You smiled, determined to find your calling in life now more than ever.

"You're welcome dear!" Monika smiled back, placing her arm around your shoulders and bringing you in close, resting her head on top of yours.

"Hehe you two are so cute! Although, what are you majoring in Monika?" Sayori asked.

"Well I'm actually going to major in English Education! You all know how I started the literature club off of my love for, well, literature! I wanted to share that love with the school, and now I want to share it even more with the next generations by teaching it to them! I want to prove that English is not a boring subject and that reading is something that everyone can enjoy!" Monika preached, causing the four of you to applaud when she was done speaking.

"That was well said Monika! You're more passionate about literature then I am!" Yuri smiled, moving a strand of hair from her eyes.

"Well of course she would, she's the club president after all! It's her job to be passionate about literature!" Natsuki explained to Yuri, who only smiled and patted Natsuki on the head.

"Hehe college is going to be so much fun! More fun than high school that's for sure!" Sayori beamed, everyone nodding in agreement.

The waiter soon came to your table and gave you the bill. You all paid for your respective meals, except for you, Monika was paying for your meal since you paid on the last date. "At least let me leave the tip." You told the table. There were no arguments from any of the girls, so you left a nice tip for the waiter and left to go play in the arcade.

"Okay everyone! Let's meet back by the entrance at 7:30, which will end our last club meeting!" Monika announced. Once she was done, everyone scattered off, with Natsuki and Yuri heading to one of the many multiplayer games, Sayori going to the skee ball game, and you and Monika heading to the Jurassic Park game. "Come on dear! Let's shoot some dinosaurs!" Monika told you, grabbing your hand and leading you to the Jeep shaped arcade machine.

"I never thought I would hear you say that in my whole life," You laughed as you let her drag you to the machine. The two of you stepped inside, entered your credits and started to play.

After ten minutes of shooting dinosaurs the two of you stepped out, Monika giving you a hug. "That was so much fun honey! Although I do believe I beat you in terms of score hehe." Monika taunted, causing you to roll your eyes.

"You only beat me because you kept on distracting me." You argued, trying to keep what little pride you had.

"Whatever makes you happy dear." She smiled. The two of you continued to walk around the arcade, playing a variety of games and earning tickets.

Monika just finished playing one of the ticket winning games when Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri approached you two. "Come one you love birds! Let's go to the photo booth and take some pictures together as a club!" Sayori smiled, dragging you and Monika to the photo booth, while Natsuki and Yuri followed, giggling to themselves about Sayori's antics.

Once Sayori led you two to the photo booth she pushed the both of you in and got in herself. Yuri and Natsuki soon got in. Once the money was put in the five of you got ready to take some pictures. The first picture was a simple smile, one that would appear in the year book. The second picture was a goofy one, everyone doing their own silly pose and face, while the final picture, Monika took your cheeks and kissed you while Sayori adored the kiss, Yuri blushing and hiding her face, and Natsuki being disgusted by it, although you knew she found it cute. The five of you got out of the cramped photo booth, and each took a photo strip. After getting your photos, you all scattered again to play some more games before it was time to leave.

After an hour, Monika led you to the prize corner. "Now tell me what prize you want and I'll get it for you!" She smiled.

You brought your hand to your chin and pondered while looking at all the prizes. You continued to look until one caught your attention. "Oh Monika! I want that one!" You exclaimed as you pointed to the prize you want.

Monika went over to you and giggled. "You sure you want the dragon?" Monika asked, with a smile. You nodded your head rapidly as Monika giggles and took the dragon plush. "Alright, I'll get you this for you! My love for you is a burning blaze afterall! Ahaha~" Monika laughed at her pun, causing you to giggle as well.

"Well let me get you something as well!" You told her.

"Aww how sweet of you!" She replied while patting your head.

You looked around and found a cute otter stuffed animal. You took the plush and placed it on Monika's shoulder. "I love you like no otter!" You smiled, causing Monika to giggle at your silly pun.

"Hehe he's so cute! I think I'm going to take him over you!" She teased as she took the otter and walked away. She then turned around and came back to you, kissing you on the lips quickly. "I'm just teasing with you dear, you're the only one for me."

You blushed at her statement and smiled. "L-let's go check these out then!" You said as you went to the register and bought the stuffed otter with your tickets. Monika then bought your stuffed dragon with her tickets.

After the two of you checked out, you both gave each other your stuffed animals and a small hug. "Let's go out to the front, the girls are probably waiting for us." Monika said, grabbing your hand and heading to the front of the restaurant.

The two of you arrived to find Natsuki, Yuri and Sayori waiting for you, each having a stuffed Cupcake, bat, and a sheep respectively. "About time you two showed up!" Natsuki bellowed.

"Natsuki… calm down, it was only two minutes." Yuri soothed her, placing her hand on Natsuki's shoulder.

Sayori smiled and showed off her stuff sheep. "Look at this cute little guy! I'm going to name him Lamby!" She cheered, proud of her accomplishment.

"Aww he's so cute Sayori! Make sure you give him and the rest of your farm plenty of love!" You smiled, referencing the fact that she has a stuffed farm. Sayori giggled and hugged Lamby tightly.

"Well everyone… it was so much fun to be in this literature club with all of you. We had our ups, and our downs, but we all grew closer together, not just as a club, but as friends and for some, even more." Monika smiled as she looked at you. Natsuki and Yuri looked at each other as well, smiling happily. "I'm glad I was able to spend so much time with you guys. All of you taught me that it's okay to not be perfect, and that doing your best is enough. You guys helped me so much that I am now able to accept myself with all of my flaws and imperfections and not feel bad about it. So thank you, all of you." Monika preached, starting to tear up at this final goodbye.

Everyone went to Monika and wrapped her in a tight hug, tears flowing down everyone's face at this emotional farewell to the literature club. "There's no need to cry, we'll still see each other during the summer before school starts!" Sayori smiled, tearing up a bit.

"I just… thank you, thank you so much! All four of you has helped me get out of my comfort zone and gave me the confidence to express myself freely without fear of judgement. I've also learned a thing or two about writing while being here. I'll miss being in the literature club." Yuri sobbed, tightening the hug.

"You guys have helped me improve myself to be much more mature and less childish. You all were like a second family to me. You also helped show me that it's okay for me to express my feelings. I can't thank you enough for that." Natsuki smiled, letting her tears flow out into the group hug.

"All of you have helped me accept myself and get through these tough times. I'm so glad for you guys being there for me and being patient with me. I know that whenever the rainclouds return, I will have the four of you by my side to help battle them and drive them away so that the sunshine can create that perfect rainbow." Sayori cried, wiping a tear from her eye.

"You guys have helped me come out of my shell from the socially awkward anime nerd and become the social butterfly that I am today! All four of you had a hand in helping me achieve this and I can't thank you girls enough. I feel like if it wasn't for the fact that Sayori managed to convince me to join the club for a free cupcake, I would be at home right now, doing nothing and wondering why I'm still single. I thank all of you, from the depths of my heart." You cried, Monika patting your back softly.

"I'm so happy I was able to share my passion of literature with every single one of you, and I'm happy that you guys shared your passions with me! Natsuki, your passion for baking and manga, Yuri, your passion for dark but beautiful poems and horror novels, Sayori, your passion for fun and making sure everyone is happy, and (Y/N), your passion for making sure everyone sees the best in themselves." Monika announced, as she broke away from the hug, the others following suite. "And that ends our final club meeting. I hope we can see each other again during summer. I thank every one of you for being a part of my literature club, a place where happiness can be found."

After Monika's speech, the five of you split off, with Yuri and Natsuki leaving first, hand in hand as they went home. Sayori was next to leave, leaving by herself smiling and waving goodbye to the two of you as she went home, leaving just you and Monika. "Shall we head to your house and play piano for a bit?" You asked. Monika nodded happily and took your hand, walking you to her house.

After a brief ten-minute walk, the two of you arrived at her house and went inside, going up the stairs to the room where her piano was. She sat down at the bench and you sat down next to her. "Hey (Y/N)! You remember that song I was playing when we had our first piano lessons?" She asked.

"Of course, I do! It was so beautiful, I wish I could hear more of it though…" You responded.

"Well today is your lucky day! For now, I am ready to share my song to you! I wrote it just for you!" She smiled. You blushed at the fact that this song was written for you. Monika played a few notes, to get a feel before starting the song. The music flowed from the piano, sweetly and swiftly as she played the beginning notes of the song. Monika took a small breath as she started to sing. "Everyday I imagine a future where I can be with you." Monika continued to sing her song, the lyrics having a very bittersweet feel to them, causing you to feel a mixed emotion of happiness and sadness. Monika finished her song playing the last few notes and set her hands down on her lap. "Well? What do you think?" She asked.

"That was beautiful Monika, I loved how bittersweet it was, and the music that accompanied this song was amazing. This was an amazing song and you are amazing. I love you Monika." You told her as you kissed her on her lips. Her hand reached up to your cheek, kissing you back softly before she broke the kiss.

"And I love you too, forever and ever. We'll never be apart." She smiled.

The two of you sat together in silence for a moment, appreciating each other's company and holding hands. "Hey Monika, I have a song I want to perform for you! I'm still not as good as you are with piano, nor am I a good singer… I didn't even write this song, but I want to perform it for you all the same." Monika blushed at what you said but got ready for your performance. You took a deep breath to soothe your nerves and played a few notes on the piano to get a feel for it. After one last breath you started play. After you played the intro, you opened your mouth and started to sing.

I believe the morning sun

Always gonna shine again, and

I believe a pot of gold

Waits at every rainbow's end, oh

I believe in roses kissed with dew

Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?

I believe in make believe

Fairy tales and lucky charms and

I believe in promises

Spoken as you cross your heart, oh

I believe in skies forever blue

Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?

You may say I'm a fool

Feelin' the way that I do

You can call me Pollyanna

Say I'm crazy as a loon

I believe in silver linings

And that's why I believe in you!

I believe there'll come a day

Maybe it will be tomorrow

When the blue bird flies away

All we have to do is follow

I believe a dream can still come true

Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?

You may say I'm a fool

Feelin' the way that I do

I believe in friends and laughter

And the wonders love can do

I believe in songs and magic

And that's why I believe in you!

You may say I'm a fool

Feelin' this way about you

There's not much I can do

I'm gonna be this way my life through

'Cause I still believe in miracles

I swear I've seen a few

And the time will surely come

When you can see my point of view

I believe in second chances

And that's why I believe in you!
